I just got this email in my inbox and I have to admit I am really angered. I just bought a powermac off of eBay so I know this guy is finding recent sales and "spamming" with this notice.

What would you do if you were me?

You could forward his message, complete with full headers, to Apple, Adobe, Macromedia, Roxio et al. I imagine those companies would be interested in learning about "special offers" like this.
